CHANGE LANGUAGE/LOCALE and KEYBOARD LAYOUT
To change only the keyboard layout on the desktop, click on the "us" next
to the date on the panel, and select the layout you want. Preconfigured
choices are U.S. English, U.K. (gb) English, and German (de). To add
another layout, left-click on the "us" and select Properties. Click on
Add, and select the one you want. The maximum number of layouts you can
have is four. You can also use the keyboard shortcut, Alt-Shift to toggle
through the choices.
To change the locale at the boot screen, press TAB and append the boot
options at the bottom of the screen with the appropriate locale. This
information is also available in the Help section at the boot screen.
Example:
live-config=locales locales=de_DE.UTF-8
To change the locale after booting the system, and to add locales,
open a terminal and give the command:
sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
You will be dropped to console, where you can log in as root (or log in
as user and prepend the next commands with 'sudo'.)
To change the default locale or to add locales:
dpkg-reconfigure locales
To change the console keyboard layout and the language used in the
system messages:
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
Be sure to make a sane choice, most likely one that begins with "pc".
You'll need to log out of the console and log in again to see the change.
To return to the desktop:
/etc/init.d/gdm start
You can also select the language at the graphical login screen. Any
locales that have been added will show up as a choice. You'll still
need to change the keyboard layout from the panel applet once you're on
the desktop.
